Hello Dr Hey
 
We wanted to wish you and your staff a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
 
Our daughter Haley was diagnosed with scoliosis when she was just 5 years old. We spent 8 long years dreading the thought of surgery and tried a number of different braces and forms of physical therapy, trying deparately to change the final outcome.
Unfortunately her curve progressed, her back pain increased and she ended up having surgery in Dec of 2010. We were fortunate everything went well – thanks to you and your staff.
 
This has been an incredible year for Haley. It’s like a weight has been lifted from her spirit. We’d didn’t fully appreciate the emotional and physical toll scoliosis had taken on her. Haley was back to school and her passion – ballet – in just 4 weeks after surgery. She is completely pain free and feels like a "normal" teenager. It’s also amazing how much her dancing has improved, now that her spine is straight.
 
Enclosed is a photo of Haley from last weekend’s performance of the Nutcracker by Cary Ballet – she was a sugarplum fairy.
 
All the best
The C’s
